pysat 0.7.0

The Python Satellite Data Analysis Toolkit (pysat) is a package providing a simple and flexible interface for downloading, loading, cleaning, managing, processing, and analyzing scientific measurements. Though pysat was initially designed for in-situ satellite based measurements it aims to support all instruments in space science.

Main Features

Instrument object provides a single an interface for downloading and analyzing a wide variety of science data sets.

Includes instrument independent analysis routines.

Science data pipeline tasks of identifying files, loading, cleaning, and modifying data sets are built into the instrument object.

Supports metadata consistent with the netCDF CF-1.6 standard. Each variable has a name, long name, and units. Note units are informational only.

Uses pandas for the underlying underlying data structure; capable of handling the many forms scientific measurements take in a consistent manner.

Simplifies data management

Iterator support for loading data by day/file/orbit, independent of data storage details.

Orbits are calculated on the fly from loaded data and span day breaks.
